INTOLERAN NOE a MYTH. !.

4 It would be we'll for some Of the
bigoted Protest ants who are continually
pratlng about the fear Of Catholic in-i
tolerance, as All objection to Home
Rule, tosread and inwardly digest the
following from the Dublin North and
South:
'sThose who fear for Irish Protestant
ism in case Home Rule is conceded to
the Irish people should give some at
tention to the remarks made by Arch
bishop Plunket Of the Irish Episcopal
church. at the opening of the Synod.
DR.. Planket disclaims all such fears,
while he recognizes distinctly that
Home Rule cannot be very far off. He
says that be has far greater apprehen-
sion Of harm from a growth Of ire
Iigion, than from anything bis Catholic
fellow -countrymen will do to his
church and he protests against the
habit Of speaking of Irish Episcopa-
lians as though they were devoid ofna-
tional sympathy. Perhaps the Arch
bishop recalls the fact that in the day
of their power the Irish Catholics never
prosecuted. In 1859 their Parliament
OF Dublin established absolute freedom
of religion, and decreed that those who
paid tithes should designate the church
for whose benefit they should be appro-
Driated.n

LORD MAYOR SULLIVAN IN JAIL.

Ireland is good country for news
paper men to keep away from just at
the present time. a "scoop" on the
latest National League news is re-
warded with two months imprison-
ment. Lord Mayor Sullivan OF Dublin
is now serving out the reward be re-
ceived for his journalistic enterprise.
He has been convicted Of having pub
lished IN his paper, the Dublin Nation,
reports ct proclaimed branches of the
National League, and sentenced to two
months imprisonment: He was first
placed in the Jail in Dublin, where he
held daily leyee, but was afterwards
transferred to Tullamore jail to keep
Mr. O'Brien and MIR. Vaudeville COM
pa y. The removal of Lord Mayor
Sullivan from Dublin is all act of
petty persecution, which is beneath
contempt. Ostenslbly, says dispatch,
the change was made to prevent the
Lord Mayor from holding receptions in
the Jail, which, it was claimed, partook
of the character Of cvations to the dis
tinguished prisoner; but the real OBJ
iect of his removal was to make his
term of incarceration as unpleasant
and impose upon him as great degree
of hardship as possible, since his sen
tence does not permit his keepers to ex-
act the performance Of labor. The
Dublin magistrates will continue their
visits to Mr.. Sullivan, however, there
being no way in which they can be le.
gally prevented. Mr.. Sullivan is still
Lord Mayor of Dublin, and in such ca
pacity cannot be debarred from con-
sultation with the magistrates of the
city, nor can the latter be denied the
right to confer with their sup erior Of

Rev. ISAAC TAYLOR, Canon Of Z ork,
recently stated IN the English church
CONGRESS-, that conversions in India
were going on at the rate of 100000
year to Mahommedanism, $4,000 to
Catholicity, and only 10000 to the va
rious sects of Protestants. He further
state9 hat the church missionary so.
ciety Ut India, which has in its service
841 missionaries, at an annual cost Of
$4,000, made last year but 297
converts, or about one convert to
every three missionaries yearly.
This latter showing is bad enough, but
Canon Taylor further says that in Per-
sia, Arabia and Egypt, 100 Christian

testants, converted but one adult last
year, and she was a Mohammedan girl

CHAMBERLAIN SHOULD SPEAK NOW.

Before coming to this country Joseph
Chamberlain said that the only support
the Irish cause had in the United
States was the rag-tag and bob tail of
American life Mr.. Chamberlain has
now been long enough in this country
to see his mistake, and if he wanted to
be honest he would come out openly
and say 50. He Knows that to repeat
the foul accusation in America
would bring hin into ridicule. Mr..
Arthur O'Connor droye the lie home in
his speech in st. Louis the other night.
Speaking On the point, he said:
Sin every meeting which we have at
tended we have had in the chair either
the Mayor of the city Or the Governor
of the State or men Of Congressional
rank. like our distinguished President
of this evening. Upon every platform
we have had representative Americans
Of every walk of life, Judges as we have
had judges to night, men at the head
of the commercial world. such men as
we have on the platform to night, men
eminent in art, in literature and in
public affairs. And from the first
meeting till now we have. NOT found
wanting any class. creed or status. We
have not found absent any indication
or any proof which was in the power of
the people Of America to supply the
depth and the earnestness Of their sym :
pathy with u.s."
Joseph Chamberlain should read this
portion of Mr.. O'Connor's speech very
carefully. 1t he does he should go back
to England with deep conviction that
The people of America uphold Mr..
Gladstone and condemn all who oppose
bis Irish policy, especially radical rene
gadas, like Chamberlain.

'sYoU have heard it said," howied a
blatherskite who spoke at the Cooper
Union meeting in New York the other
night, ssthat the Anarchists do not be-
long to this country. They do not
want to belong to this country. They
do not need to come under its flag.
They have flag of their own--their red
flag" Then the quicker they get out Of
this country the better. We presume
it is only matter of taste If they pre-
fer the rope route. This country is
pretty big, but it is not big enough for
two flags.

YHE Presidents message to Congress
is one of the most important delivered
for years. inasmuch as it treats Of a
subject that concerns every class Of the
people. 1t is wholly confined to the
surplus in the treasury, and recon-
mends reduction Of the tariff as the
most expedient means Of getting the
surplus back into the pockets of the
people, The major portion of this ses
sion of Congress will probably be taken
up with legislation tending towards this
end.

A RECENT investigation into the
price OF wheat shows that the Anleri-
can farmer has superior advantages for
competition in the wheat markets Of
the world. Charges from Chicago to
Liverpool have been reduced within
seventeen years thirty cents per sixty
pounds, while the freight rates from
India to LIVERPOOL have not decreased
in that proportion, if at all.

THE IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE OF
AMERICA.

At recent meeting Of the executive
committee Of the Irish National
League of America the question of
where the next National convention
should be held was taken into consid-
GRAFTON and the whole matter was fin
ally placed in the hands of a committee
of seven with President Fitzgerald as
chairman. who will decide the time and
place, after consulting co-Workers in
Ireland as to the time that would suit
them best.
Undoubtedly the League convention
should be held as soon as pos
sible. There are many reasons for
this. not tie least important one being
that next summer the country will be
plunged into what promises to be q
very hot Presidential political contest.
In the past the Irish cause has suffared
very considerably by an attempt to
drag into it questions of political ma
ture, which affect this country only.
Some members Of the Irish National
League belong to one political party.
and some to another, but on the ques-
ton of Irish legislative independence
they are unit. No individual mem.

A REMINDER,

In a few weeks more the year 1887
will be numbered with the others that
have gone before. To many the expir
ing year has been one Of exceptional
prosperity, and to others it has been
exceedingly calamitous. THE IR1sH
STANDARD may be classed i'll the for
mer list. Our business has iner aased
beyond expectation-so much SO that
we feel quite safe in entering Into Ger
tain contracts, which necessitate the
outlay of a considerable SUM Of money
but will vastly improve the pager, In
the matter Of collections We have been
yery fortunate, but yet there are many
who have not paid for their paper, TIC
those we would say that it would facili
tate Our business arrangements cons,d
erably il the amounts due were settled
In cases where any Ct our pat
rons have found it required all their
available resources to keep ''the wolf
from the door, we do not wish to
be hard. All we ask is for those who
can pay to do SO at the earliest possible
moment. BY doing so they will assist
THE I1s1sI STANDARD in carrying out
contemplated improvements for the
wear 1883. But in no case is it desired
that a subscriber should seriously in
convenience or deprive himself and
family of the necessities of everyday
,;fo In order to wine out his indebted
ness.
In policy The IRISH STANDARD will
pursue the same course that it has in
the past. Over and above everything
il is a CATHOLIC PAPER. The Church
whose traditions are SO honorable and
upright, and which has far surpassed
all other religious denominations in its
ciyilizing influence and the elevation Of
humanity, commands our first ale
g;ance. "The Church cannot err" will
ever be our watchword.
We shall continue to watch carefully
the drift of affairs in Ireland, and fur
nish our readers weekly with the latest
news from the land Of the shamrock.
In this connection it might be re-
marked that arrangements are being
made which will enable us TO print the
latest Irish news as early as any of our
Nationalist contemporaries and earlier
than some. While we shall contribute
everything in our power towards the
advancement of the Irish cause, we will
retain the right to discuss every ques-
$tion affecting Irish interests from our
own stand point and to offer commend
alton or condemnation wherever and
whenever we deem it proper to do 80.
tits hardly necessary to remark chat
TIE nj IRISH STANDARD will continue it's
adhesio on to the Democratic party. The
administration Of President Cleveland
for purity and integrity to the interests
off the American people has been with

liz. Therefo fore, we cannot do other
